A) Increase squash on the character's feet at the moment of contact and add anticipation frames before the first tug B) Shorten the overall duration of the lift and reduce follow-through on the arms C) Add more keyframes to the hands so the fingers animate independently D) Increase the boulder's size in the scene to imply scale
